Description BCNTC(621) counts the total number of bits that are ON in all words between
S and S+(N–1) and places the BCD result in R.
Flags
Note In C-series PLCs, the BIT COUNTER (BITC) instruction will cause the Error
Flag to go ON if the content of an indirectly addressed DM word (*DM) is not
BCD, or the DM area boundary is exceeded. BCNTC(621) will not cause the
Error Flag to go ON in these cases.
Precautions An error will occur if N is not BCD between 0001 and 9999, or the result
exceeds 9,999.
Example When CIO 000000 is ON in the following example, BCNTC(621) counts the
total number of ON bits in the 10 words from CIO 0100 through CIO 0109 and
writes the result to D00100.

Name Label Operation
Error Flag ER ON if N is not within the range 0001 to 9999 BCD.
ON if result exceeds 9999 BCD.
OFF in all other cases.
Equals Flag = ON if the result is 0000.
OFF in all other cases.
